Summary: How do the atoms know which ones must decay first in carbon 14
Summary: How do the atoms know which ones must decay first in carbon 14
Carbon 14 has a half life of 5700 years. How do the Atoms know which ones will decay as we have such a perfect half life, why don't they all just decay at the same time or like when you make popcorn and a bunch develope then only and a few a few pop...How do the atoms know which atoms must decay first to give it such a perfect halflife?
